Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt
stick with a design that has an AC synchronous motor and a platter heavy enough to have some flywheel effect. The only time I had serious issues with my table's speed was in the week immediately after Hurricane Sandy. Once my home had power restor...

Linn Basik Turntable LVX Tonearm Shure V15 V Cart
Years back, perhaps 1990, I was looking for a new turntable. I food a dealer that sold Rega and Linn. I wound up with a Rega Planar 3. I first listened to the LP 12 as a benchmark. Then I listened to the Axis, Basik and Planar 3. At the time I own...

Stringreen, GAS is another great inclusion. 
Charge for TT setup?
The OP's dealer is either begging to go out of business or agorant enough to think he's the only vpi source. Doesn't a 40% profit margin mean you are supposed to receive value for that money? Isn't the argument that brick and mortar stores is that...

Hats off to Almarg- Brook is a great inclusion. I completely forgot about Brook, even though a pair of Ohm F's (Walsh drivers) are sitting in my home waiting for restoration or a new home
